NOTICE: this release is “on the shelves” at Amazon, B&N, and KoboBooks. It should follow shortly at iBookStore/iTunes (as always, with past “tales,” Apple is the slow dog in the race).

For more information please visit the “Tales” page at NobleDead.org. While you are there, have a look at previous “Tales” releases in the “Homeward” and other collections. Though set in the world of the Noble Dead Saga, all “tales” and their collections do not require knowledge of the saga’s books/series. You can easily pick up and read one as your first venture into this world. And so…

You Do NOT Need an eReader

Free Apps to purchase ebooks directly from your computer or other devices are available for Windows, OS X, Android, iOS and sometimes Linux. Yes, you can buy your first ebook as a test right from your computer… or download thousands of free classics.

NOTE: If you purchase an ebook via a computer app from a specific vendor, and then later buy a portable ereader device from that vendor, all of your previously purchased books will automatically load to your new ereader.

Better yet, if you buy an Android or iOS device (such as a full or small sized tablet) and then load the vendor’s app to that device… once again all of your purchases will load to that device… and they still be on our computer as well.

You can even load apps from all of the vendors and shop wherever you want. That’s what J.C. does, though he has a few additional tricks for pulling any vendor’s books into his own preferred reader app called Mantano. He also speaks highly of Aldiko. Both have a free version to try out.
